IPA stands for India Pale Ale and ours is an American version of the classic style. IPA’s namesake lies in its colonial roots. British soldiers on their way to India drank a lot of beer, but found it would go stale on the long voyages. Meanwhile, brewers knew that by adding more hops, the beer would stay fresh. Voila! A new style was born and it is one we are proud to brew. Southern Tier IPA is a triple-hopped on its journey to your glass for a fully aromatic experience.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a bright, brassy gold color with a big rocky beige head. Fresh citrus hop aroma with notes of resin and pine. Bittersweet toasted malt flavor has underlying notes of burnt sugar malt and peppery hops. Finish is dry and bitter.

Bottle from the LCBO. Pours a very clear orange with minimal head and slight lacing. Nose is grass and oranges. Big bitter start moving to a caramel sweetness. Medium soft body with a lingering balanced finish. Would like to have the hops a little more forward.

Old rating rerated 27.06.2013, 0,35l bottle @ Spice Market NY:
Nice creamy longlasting head. Aroma is lots of fresh hops, newly cut lawn, leafs, caramel, pine needles, hints of cat piss, light malts. Taste is slightly harsh grassy, hops, wet leafs, grass, pine needles, soil, caramel, light malts. Longlasting bitterness, dry mouthfeel. Overall it’s nice, but the taste drags this one down from a near top score to a nice enough 3,9.

800 yen at Tadg’s. A very clear dark yellow gold with a piney/floral hop aroma. A touch of grapes or tropical fruits. The flavor is a deep mellow sweet bitter hop taste. Not super overpoweringly bitter, fairly well balanced. A solid IPA.

A light copper beer with a medium and blond head. The nose of caramell malts, some tropical fruits, peaches, fructose and some pine needles. Taste is medium bitter, caramell, pine and even some resin, also dry wood. Medium bodied, balanced carbonation. Probably, not a very fresh bottle. Bitterness is dominating, more fruits would be needed.
